Question

A court reporter is transcribing a report from Canada. The report states that the suspect was driving his vehicle at a rate of 100 kilometers per hour. How many miles (mi.) per hour is this? Round your answer to the nearest mile per hour

Answer 1

I got an answer of 62 miles per hour when rounded to the nearest ones

Answer 2

Answer: 62 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that One mile = 1.60934 kilometers

$\Rightarrow\ \text{One kilometer}=\dfrac{1}{1.60934}=0.62137273665\approx0.6214\text{ mile}$

Given: The speed of suspect =  100 kilometers per hour

In miles per hour, the speed of suspect will be :

$0.6214\times100=62.14\approx62\text{ miles per hour}$

Hence, the speed of suspect = 62 miles per hour
